In 2010, the government targeted Lauren Stevens for allegedly making false statements in the course of a discovery dispute. In a strongly-worded decision, the federal judge summarily threw out the prosecution's case, indicating that Ms. Stevens should never have been charged in the first place. Unfortunately, unable to take a hint, the government has made clear that it is looking for other targets and will file against some other in-house lawyer. In this exclusive one-on-one interview, ACC is pleased to welcome Lauren Stevens, as she recounts her experience as an unfortunate target of the Department of Justice's effort to target in-house counsel for representing their corporate clients. All members of the in-house bar should pay close attention to her advice about how to respond to this growing threat to the profession.
